Key Peterborough United pair are set for a swift return in Carabao Cup tie at Bradford City

Key players Matt Garbett and Josh Feeney are set for a quick return to action for Peterborough United.

Both missed Saturday’s 1-1 League One draw at Bromley but are set to return for Tuesday’s Carabao Cup Fourth Round tie against Bradford City at Valley Parade (October 27, 7.45pm kick off).

Posh boss Robbie Savage has revealed he chose to rest Feeney at Bromley.

The young defender was replaced by Tom O’Connor, who returned from injury after six weeks out. His return and the fact he made it through 90 minutes provided Posh with a further boost.

Garbett picked up a knock to his knee at Huddersfield last Tuesday, but is set to shake off the issue in time for another trip to Yorkshire this midweek.

Savage said: “Garbett is injured. He got a whack on his knee at Huddersfield. He tried training, but couldn’t manage today. Hopefully he will be back for Tuesday.

"Josh needed a rest. He’s been magnificent. He went away with Scotland, played a couple of games and came back with a grade one medial ligament issue and played through the pain. He looked tired at Huddersfield and I felt this was a game too far for him.”
